<p>A lubricating structure of a differential apparatus is provided to directly supply a lubricant to a meshed portion between a pinion and a side gear through a lubricant path formed in a drive shaft. A side gear is meshed with a pinion mounted on a pinion shaft in a differential case. A spline is formed on a center portion of the side gear, and is coupled to a spline portion of a drive shaft(30). A drive shaft is formed with a lubricant path(40) for supplying a lubricant to a meshed portion between the pinion and the side gear. The lubricant path is communicated with a passage(42) axially formed in an inside of the drive shaft via an inlet portion(41) formed on an outer periphery of the spline portion. The passage is communicated with an outlet port(43) formed on the outer periphery of the spline portion.</p> |
